2012 in a review – music.

This year I have been listening a lot of music. It’s been an excellent year for all music lovers addicted to all different kinds of sound. Even if I mostly enjoy hardcore and metal bands, I have noticed a lot of good staff from hip hop and pop industry. There were a lot of catchy songs in January and that good stream was being continued through the year. I explored new artists, got a bit disappointed by well-known others and felt amazed by awesomeness of my favourite band. Every album I put my hands on gave me so many emotions, that few things are only able to do. Hopefully 2013 music will be at least halfway intense as in 2012.

Best albums of 2012:

# Converge – All We Love We Leave Behind

I am never disappointed by these guys. Never ever!

London after Neurosis.

Today a small photodiary from our last visit in London. All photos were taken on the second day, after amazing Neurosis concert.

Neurosis - live in London

On 2nd December we went for a quick trip to London, just to see one of the heavy music legends – Neurosis. I must say that I’ve never been a maniac fan of them, the only album I really used to know was “The Eye of Every Storm” (what a shame, I know). I found about it when I was 17 – my cousin bought it and I was attracted by its cover. And later I realized that music was also very unusual compared to my taste that time. So disquieting, dreary, but also compelling. I have been listening that album every now and then, but still without diving into their whole discography. But in November they released new work entitled ‘Honor Found in Decay’. It’s not their best album, but I truly love it. ‘At the well’ gives me thrills, and whole album looks like made specially for rainy, cold autumn. So when we found out about exclusive concert in UK this year, we couldn’t resist, even it was actually before the premiere of the record. 

All we love we see them live.

Dziś, po długiej przerwie post muzyczny. Miałam pisać o czymś innym, ale o tym następnym razem. Przełom listopada i grudnia koncertowo wynagrodził mi szarą rzeczywistość, jaką jest życie i nieciekawa praca kilkanaście kilometrów od centrum Manchesteru. Nie chcę w tym momencie narzekać, ale mieszkanie w dziurze niedaleko Manchesteru to nie to samo, co życie w Manchesterze, dlatego niedługo w tej kwestii nastąpią tak upragnione przeze mnie zmiany. Nawet jeśli będzie do przeprowadzka w ciemno. Ale wracając do tematu…
